'Interesting' XP at Army No. 1

Hello all..


To entertain Ken with stories, i start off by sharing some experiences at army. dun worry.. it's not gonna be some stories saying how shack or how tired things are..


Interesting XP No. 1
There was this time in OCS, at the end of Term 2 where we had a 23km route march. At the end of it all, it was about 2am or so. We ended the march at the foot of some knoll, where we will be presented with our promoted ranks at about sun rise. We were to rest at that area, wet with sweat. You can imagine that feeling.. wet and filled with sweat. We were too tired to think that much, and pop, down we went sleeping on the ground with our sbo as pillows. At 5 am we were to wake up. Gosh, i couldn't do so, not because I could not wake up, but because i could not get up. Why? I was too cold.. so cold because the morning dew plus our sweat, and the morning coldness had made me super cold.. i was shivering all the way, afraid to move cos it was so disgusting to move around..the feeling of numbness, the feeling of getting rubbed by the wet and cold uniform.. yuke. i think the temperature was about 22 to 23 degrees. Heard that one of my company mates could not move at all.. he could not even move his mouth properly. He was shivering and trying his best to get help from his buddy.. by using his mouth he called him at least 5 times to get him heard. Yukes.. the feeling of coldness.. you'd not know till you try it.. try splashing yourself with water and sleep in the air con room for 2 hours and wake up..



Haha..that's the end of my Interesting XP at Army No 1. Interesting right? Ken: "Interesting!" Haha.. very good Ken.. thank you.



Lame.
